ANDER
MAÑAS

Fullstack Developer | AI Developer

Background

BS and two MS degrees in Industrial and Aerospace Engineering from UPV/EHU, with 5+ years of experience across structures, engines, and completion projects at ITP Aero, Aernnova, and Jet Aviation. This background shaped my engineering mindset: rigorous problem-solving, mastery of complex systems, and absolute precision in every detail.

Current Role

Transitioning into full-stack development, building modern, AI-enhanced solutions through hands-on projects and product-focused development. I bring an aerospace engineering approach to software: clear architecture, high reliability, and a "zero critical error" standard in execution.

Education

Completed a Master’s in AI-Driven Software Development at Universidad Isabel I, complemented by IBM’s Generative AI professional training. My path combines deep software fundamentals with modern full-stack development and applied AI for real-world products.

Beyond the CODE

When I’m not building software or exploring new AI models, you’ll probably find me hiking in the mountains, staying active, or planning my next travel itinerary. I believe that stepping away from the screen is the best way to solve complex problems.
